"Wildlife expert Lalit Verma, veterinary expert Dr Utkarsh Shukla and a senior wildlife expert and former PCCF, wildlife, AP Sinha are the members of the team," he added. "We must find out the actual reason for the animal's death. If there is any lapse, it must be identified so that precautions can be taken in future," the minister said. Dudhwa buffer zone officials had darted and encaged the tigress from Ramnagar Kalan area in Majhgain range after it attacked and killed two people in separate incidents in the area on June 14 and June 15. According to buffer zone officials, the tigress revived from tranquillisation within next 30 minutes and appeared quite normal. However, at around 6:30 pm the same evening, the tigress suddenly collapsed and died. Subsequently, Dudhwa Tiger Reserve (DTR) officials sent the carcass to IVRI, Bareilly, for a post-mortem examination to ascertain the exact cause of death.
